I keep chasing down the highways, but they don’t turn back again And I’m left here still wondering where the dream went Verse 2 I still hear his laughter in the corners of this place I still see the life I pictured, but I can’t touch his face I thought tomorrow held the answers, but tomorrow never came Now the past is just a stranger, and the future feels the same Chorus Where the dream went, I can’t say Did it fade in the silence, or just get lost on the way? I keep chasing down the highways, but they don’t turn back again And I’m left here still wondering where the dream went [Bridge gritty vocals, loud, emotional, angry] Some nights I try to hold on, but the dawn still slips away And the woman that I turned into don’t know what she meant to say [Final Chorus quiet, then loud] Where the dream went, I can’t say Did it break in the silence, or just get lost on the way? I keep chasing down the highways, but they don’t turn back again And I’m left here still wondering where the dream went Tag Yeah, I’m left here still knowing where the dream went
